Overview
The Baer Brakes Extreme Plus 4301627HO front brake kit in Hugger Orange targets 2WD Chevrolet and GMC C1500 trucks from 1988 to 1998 and C1500 SUVs from 1992 to 1999 that run React 2-inch drop spindles.
The system pairs a one-piece six-piston 6S caliper with a 14-inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor. Billet aluminum hubs, stainless braided hoses and mounting brackets complete the package, and the caliper has a powder-coated Hugger Orange finish. The D1247 pad type is used with this system.
Key features
- Monoblock caliper with six pistons in stainless steel, manufactured in Phoenix, Az
- Caliper body CNC machined from 2618 aluminum forging
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- Hugger Orange powder-coated finish
- Two-piece rotor with a billet aluminum hat, pre-assembled with NAS stainless hardware
- Billet aluminum hubs with premium bearings
Pad and rotor wear checks
Pads and rotors wear together, and a larger front setup can show uneven wear if the pads are not matched to the rotor. Check pad thickness at each service and look for a lip on the rotor edge, which signals that pads have worn past their useful life. Bed in new pads gently before heavy use.
Braided hoses protect the fluid path but still need inspection. Look for chafing where they pass near the spindle, tire or suspension, and watch for leaks at the fittings. A soft brake pedal or pulsation under braking often points to a worn rotor, a warped surface or air in the system.
- Check pad thickness at each tire rotation
- Look for grooves or lips on rotors
- Bed in new pads with gentle stops
- Replace hoses that show chafing or leaks
